About me: And check out the new trailer for the play, produced and edited by Ethan Meyer of Etypical Productions:
Made of awesome…a pitch-perfect comedic performance that captures the essence of computer-gaming geeks around the globe. -Josh Sherman, nytheater.com
Lagging RL, formerly Gamers was written by Brian Bielawski and Walter G. Meyer and staring Brian Bielawski.
Coming in soon--a DVD of the full performance. Message me on how to get yours.
And now available: Gamers T-shirts and coffee mugs. Visit myspace.com/gamerstheplay for more info or see our store at gamerstheplay.com.
Here is some of what the critics had to say about the play:
Gamers manages the neat trick of making the isolated MMOG player’s world into something others can enjoy watching. – Mallory Jensen, Offoffonline.com
The best play about elves and dragons since Hamlet. I guarantee this won't be the last time you hear of Gamers, so you may want to become a fan now. That way in a year or two you can say "Oh yeah, well I liked Gamers before anyone even knew what it was, n00bz!" -William Haley, Destructoid
This tour-de-force, performed perfectly, involves a guy who makes a living doing tech support but whose passion is an interactive game involving thousands of online players… Highly recommended…3 ½ stars. –Hy Bender, Hyreviews.com
It packs more inside gamer/techie/webhead jokes into an hour than seems possible without leaving the "outsider" part of the audience behind, and thus everyone gets to have a good time. -Gregory Wilson, curtainup.com
Could hardly be improved upon. –David Lefkowitz, Theater News Online
